Next Up: Ravens vs Eagles M&T Bank Stadium December 18, 1300

[Moderator 2]

Last home game  unless we take division.

[LosT_in_TranSlatioN]

This has become a must win. 

 

I have this as a W. Hope we can get to Carson Went's head.

[DomMcRaven]

MUST-WIN. Enough said. 

[FoxRox75]

Definitely a must-win. Ravens need to stay pissed off from the Patriots loss and play the Eagles like they did against the Dolphins. 

[ratedr]

Ravens basically have to win out now.

[ludy51]

For all of you who called the Pat's game a must win, take note.

THIS is what a must-win game looks like

I would MUCH rather have a must win against the Eagles than the Patriots .

I think we all feel that way.

It really hurts to lose - especially to New England - but it's important to keep perspective. The Eagles and Bengals games are both pretty winnable, as long as the Ravens play at a solid level. As for the Steelers game, anything can happen; almost every game with them is close. The good news about that is that we've owned them lately, even in Heinz Field. Even if we only win two of these games, playoffs is definitely not out of the question.

Carson Wentz isn't Tom Brady

I'll bite ludy. I don't run when called out bro!  

I called the Patriots game a must win.  Reason being..that if they lost to the Patriots...like they did....they'd fall to 7-6 and that puts TREMENDOUS PRESSURE on them to win out against the Eagles at home and then the Steelers and Bengals on the road!  The Steelers are 8-5 and lead the division with a game over the Ravens.  They head to Cinci to face the Bengals next week and then they return home for their last 2 games against the Ravens and the Browns.  No doubt that they'll be poised to finish off the Ravens playoff hopes there at home.  BUT it seems that none of these scenarios will matter IF the Ravens drop this game to the Eagles next week.

Good. I like this team (minus Elam) under pressure. It's exactly where they need to be.

They can be as poised as they want to take away our playoff hopes but we're the ones with legitimate goals to play for in those games (assuming we beat the Eagles/the steelers lose) and THAT makes all the difference in the world.

From that standpoint I did agree with you, hurts, but still alive, should be fun, my bold prediction of if we make the playoffs we win the Super Bowl was also partly because it assumes we had played pretty damn well to make the playoffs.

The Bengals will likely have AJ Green. That's not "pretty winable", especially if Jimmy's not playing.

That does put a damper on things. But if it's a do or die situation at that point, I still like our chances alright. Having more motivation than the opposing team always helps.

And even that's not a guarantee ludy.

He's better than Joe Flacco, and comes at a fraction of the price. At least with Wentz you get your money's worth

Not even close though come on that's unfair, I'm going to bed.

Good game guys, tough loss but we made it exciting 

[JO_75]

Must win against the Eagles. The only positive outside of a win is the fact AJ Green is practicing and could play against the Steelers on Sunday. So if AJ Green plays, that helps our chances of the Bengals winning along as we take care of business. Gotta take care of business and hope the Bengals do what the Bills couldn't, beat the Steelers. 

[terrynjulia03]

Honestly I think this is the last game we win this season. Sucks. But it is what it is. 

[Tornado700]

Eagles are a great home team and a weak away team. We should win this game by at least two to three scores. If they can't beat the Eagles at home, we don;t belong anywhere near the playoffs.

[Static]

No Jimmy means Carson Wents will go for 500yards like every other QB. 

[reed20]

Win out and enter the playoffs healthy. That is all!

And if we dont, then it's not even a scenario worth discussing 

[OUravensfan]

Losing hurts, makes you think you're a lot worse than you may be, at this point Philly and Cincinnati are mediocre and we should be able to beat them. Pittsburgh is huge, at least you know we won't be as bad as were against them as we were last night, Ben isn't Brady.

No their offense is one of the worst in the league. I trust Shareece Wright on Jordan Matthews. They have no other threat. 

What you need is Jimmy to get healthy for the Steelers game when he will be needed more than ever. He has been the reason the Ravens have owned the recent match ups against the Steelers. He takes Antonio Brown out of games.

I don't even have the heart to make a breakout game joke, damn you Mili!!

Better than Philly and Cincinnati, just above normal mediocre, like a 9-7 mediocre, Bengals are a 7-8-1 kind of mediocre and Philly is a rookie QB learning the hard way kind of mediocre lol.
